Hall Current 24 Click

Hall Current 24 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Hall Current 24 Click board by reading and displaying the input current measurements.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.HallCurrent24

Example Key Functions

• hallcurrent24_cfg_setup This function initializes Click configuration structure to initial values.

void hallcurrent24_cfg_setup ( hallcurrent24_cfg_t *cfg );

• hallcurrent24_init This function initializes all necessary pins and peripherals used for this Click board.

err_t hallcurrent24_init ( hallcurrent24_t *ctx, hallcurrent24_cfg_t *cfg );

• hallcurrent24_calib_offset This function calibrates the zero current offset value.

err_t hallcurrent24_calib_offset ( hallcurrent24_t *ctx );

• hallcurrent24_calib_resolution This function calibrates the data resolution at the known load current.

err_t hallcurrent24_calib_resolution ( hallcurrent24_t *ctx, float calib_current );

• hallcurrent24_read_current This function reads the input current level [A].

err_t hallcurrent24_read_current ( hallcurrent24_t *ctx, float *current );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and calibrates the zero current offset and data resolution at 1A load current.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    hallcurrent24_cfg_t hallcurrent24_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.

    HALLCURRENT24_MAP_MIKROBUS( hallcurrent24_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( HALLCURRENT24_OK != hallcurrent24_init( &hallcurrent24, &hallcurrent24_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    log_printf( &logger, " Make sure no current flows through the sensor during the calibration process.\r\n" );

    {

    }
    log_printf( &logger, " Data resolution calibration DONE.\r\n" );
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Reads the input current measurements and displays the results on the USB UART approximately once per second.

void application_task ( void )
{
    float current = 0;
    if ( HALLCURRENT24_OK == hallcurrent24_read_current ( &hallcurrent24, &current ) ) 
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Current : %.1f A\r\n\n", current );
    }
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
